By default, the Komiser CLI collects some anonymous usage data. There are two types of data we collect:
We collect telemetry data for only two reasons:
In order to create a better product, we need reliable quantitative information. The data we collect helps us fix bugs, evaluate the success of features, and better understand our users’ needs.
We also need to prove that people are actually using Komiser. Usage metrics help us justify our existence to investors so that we can keep this project alive.
We use Segment, a platform for data collection and management, to collect usage data. We then feed that data into Amplitude, a tool for graphing and highlighting data, so that we can build visualizations according to our needs. As for error collection, we use Sentry.
Data collection can be disabled at any time by setting a command-line option, then restarting the Komiser instance.
